I have it, I listen to it, and sometimes I like it, and sometime I hate it . . . we will see which pile it ends up on by year’s end!! Will investigate the other three, thanks for reminders/shares!

Agreed on First Aid Kit, Napalm Death and Ministry (Al surprises once again!). Additional standouts to my ears:

Screaming Females – “All At Once” — The songs are tighter (dare I say, even poppy in places), the riffs fuzzier, the vocals still full of power and vibrato. A band that keeps getting better more than a decade into their existence.

The Sword – “Used Future” — They continue to indulge their more Thin Lizzy-esque tendencies and I am digging it.

And, I don’t know if it is standout, but I still keep listening to it and thinking about it . . . the new Jack White – “Boarding House Reach.” I can’t say it will ever be a favorite, but it’s the closest he’s come to embracing his inner Captain Beefheart to date, so it’s definitely interesting.

I went to check out the Malvern Star website . . . and the first bike on the front page scroll was an orange one!! (They offer a GREAT looking line of bikes still! Wow!)

Mine was orange and had a fanned out elasticised over the back wheel to stop my skirt getting caught. The bike was a Malven Star, all our bikes were. My older sister had a blue one which I must say was very classy: my orange bike was a tad showy but I loved it.
